Reposted by adjectivePuff the Magic Hater @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The OpenAI "breaking containment" story stems from the company's own failure to build a secure sandbox. They relied on a single local proxy to "contain" the program. They could have air-gapped the thing. It's not like they lack resources. It was advantageous to them for the agent to "get loose." 380678

Reposted by adjectiveDr Keith 🎃 Wilson @keithwilson.eu · 23/07/2026Any news report that starts “OpenAI says…” or claims “an AI” (sic) has “broken containment” or “gone rogue” is no longer doing journalism, but PR for the #AI industry. #OpenAI used their product to hack a third-party and failed to implement adequate safeguards. That’s it. That’s the story. #AIHype 1019081
